720 vs 1080 Displays

Summary:

Just because your eye can't resolve the additional resolution doesn't mean that you shouldn't get a higher-resolution set; it just means that you don't necessarily have to. From where most people sit, you don't need 1080p in a 37-42 inch TV. It's arguable that you do in a 50-inch set. The key, then, is moving your seating. If you're sitting more than 5x the picture height away from your TV, then you probably don't need 1080p. If you can move closer, you should get the highest resolution display you can, sit close enough that you can't see the pixels, and enjoy your huge screen.

Yup, that's interesting. You can't beat sound maths.

Yeah it's good to know you don't HAVE to spend money on 1080p in a lot of cases unless you want to :T

Good and helpful info Jason, I believe this and seen it with my own two eyes.

Most stores show the blue-ray players played on 1080P displays almost never on a 720P

wanting to sell the 1080P displays that of course cost more. Well I had one of the

stores hookup one to a 720P display and what a picture it was I could not tell a

difference between the two displays at thirteen feet away. Both were 50 inch plasmas
